Bird Watchers' General Store

Been going to the birdwatchers store for many years and it's always great. Mike is a Cape Cod institution and always has a smile for everyone, as does all the staff. They are all super knowledgeable about the store and especially about birds. The store has something for everyone, not just bird lovers. Do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't regret it. And don't forget to have a joke ready for a free pencil.

A birder's paradise! A store full of books, ornaments, trinkets, clothes, supplies, and everything youd ever want or need to watch birds or show your love and fascination for them. The owner was very nice and is clearly a fixture in the Orelans community. Put a bird on it. And stop by this spot when you're driving thru Orleans.

If you feed birds you need to stop at this store. They have an amazing selection of feeders, food, spotting scopes, binoculars and other items. I was on the quest for a new hummingbird feeder after a bear destroyed mine earlier in the year. The prices are comparable to online site like Amazon (I checked) but you get to handle the merchandise and ask the knowledgeable staff. Check out the bathroom (really).

One of my favorite places to visit on the Cape! Birdwatchers has EVERYTHING forthe birder. From tees, shirts, sweatshirts, shorts and even underwear with birds on them, to Christmas ornaments and bird cards to books and greeting cards one can find any type of gift for themselves or a bird lover friend. They also have a section of bird feeders, houses and food on the side. I have bought many a pair of binoculars while on the Cape here and it is especially helpful to be able to compare one pair to the other by actually looking out of them instead of guessing online. Employees are helpful and know their stuff.

As a birder and a lover of all things bird, I can sincerely say they have just about everything I need. It was a lovely store with all the bird themed clothes, ornaments, books, cards, and general supplies a person like me could dream of. Truly, a wonderful experience.

They have everything you need, and more, when it comes to bird watching. A fun place to visit.

BWGS is a birders paradise with so many great products. We purchased a feeder, seed, some cards, gift items as books. The staff are friendly and always helpful.

Great place! Lots of bird things for sure! Got a nice new bird house.

They have everything related to birding and will share their knowledge of local birding spots. Nice folks too! 🐦

A-well now, everybody's heard about the bird! So glad and fortunate to have visited this store in the flesh. Aside from truly being a "one stop shop" for all of your birding needs, it's also a wonderful example of how awesome and beautiful bird watchers can be, in addition to the birds themselves. Mike and staff serve as reminders that not all heroes wear capes! Long live BWGS.

Love this place! They have everything you ever need for birds. Very helpful staff and they bring the 50 or 25 pound bag of bird seed to your car. Mike the owner is a fun and fascinating character. you can also buy his books there. He is an authority on birds, Although he will deny it.

Really nice store! Intended for fans of birds but they have a wide selection of things intended for the yard as well as books, kids stuff, educational, and beautiful knick knacks like gorgeous bird themed Christmas ornaments, etc.

Love this shop. We needed binoculars for bird watching and a seal cruise and the BWGS rented us 3 pair for a very fair rate of $2/day/pair. We got a couple of bird books for the birds of Massachusetts there. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable. Great store. Here are some pix of the things we saw with the binocs.

The best. Staff have great recommendations and knowledge. Owner’s jokes are the corniest of corn - you’ll have to laugh

This place is a whole lot of fun for the enthusiasts, and a great place for supplies for the serious bird watcher. Staff are awesome, place has thousands of things to look at, and if you're a bird lover, you'll not want to miss it.

Interesting store chock full of everything birds. Mike is still around and as funny as ever.
Love just stopping by.

Oh my GOOOOODNESS!!! Where has this store been all of my life? If you are a person that feeds birds in your backyard or David Sibley, you'll find this store FASCINATING! It was impossible to leave here without a few essentials, like a book, book mark, and tshirt.

Extensive selection of bird, feed, and many other items. Friendly staff. Good accessible parking. Fair prices per.

I have shopped here for years. The shop has evolved into the most amazing center for everything birds. I could spend hours in here, poking around, watching the bird cams or the live birds, feeding outside. Prices and selection, second to none.

An amazing staff! They were so well versed in local bird watching and encouraging to us newbies. We bought binoculars, clothing, a field guide, and a pair of gorgeous earrings. It was a great place for both of us to piddle around in.
